The author managed to run LUnix on an NES without tricks, like embedding a Raspberry Pi into the cartridge.

    I apologize for being pedantic, but he’s not running Linux on the NES, since LUnix is not Linux. This is still a cool project, but the title is a bit misleading.

        Yeah, but then why still put “Linux running on an NES?” as the title? It’s just click bait

          Would you give the video more than a glance if the title was “Operating System Similar To Linux Running on an NES?” I know I’d just scroll past it compared to the original title.

            He probably could have just said Unix instead of Linux. I get why he didn’t, and it’s not that big of a deal, just slightly annoying
